Drinking Alone

Produced by David Garcia and Carrie Underwood

Written by Carrie Underwood, David Garcia and Brett James

 

Let me make one thing clear

You can buy me a beer

But you ain’t taking me home

No pick-up lines

I came here tonight

To shed a few tears on my own

 

Sitting there across the room

I couldn’t help but notice you

Seem a little down on your love, too

 

Yeah, my heart might be breaking

But this seat ain’t taken

You got me thinking

 

We should be drinking alone, together

Drowning the pain is better

With somebody else who got problems

We ain’t gonna solve ‘em

But misery loves company

Tonight all I need is a stranger

Lips with a whiskey chaser

And a corner booth kiss

To make me forget that he’s gone

We should be drinking alone

We should be drinking alone, together

 

Don’t know what she did

To make you hurt like this

But I know just what to do

It starts with a bottle of good reposado

And ends with a shooter or two

 

Tomorrow when the sun comes up

Tonight’s the night that never was

Baby, just forget my name

 

Won’t be your one and only

But just ‘cause we’re lonely

Don’t mean that we should

 

We should be drinking alone

‘Cause drowning the pain is better

With somebody else who got problems

We ain’t gonna solve ‘em

But misery loves company

Tonight all I need is a stranger

Lips with a whiskey chaser

And a corner booth kiss

To make me forget that he’s gone

We should be drinking alone

 

I’ll pretend that I care

Baby, pull up a chair

We’ll stay here ‘till they make us go home

 

We should be drinking alone

Oh, we should be drinking alone, together

Drowning the pain is better

With somebody else who got problems

We ain’t gonna solve ‘em

But misery loves company

Tonight all I need is a stranger

Lips with a whiskey chaser

And a corner booth kiss

To make me forget that he’s gone

Oh, we should be drinking alone, together

We should be drinking alone

We should be drinking alone
